As big data techniques are being improved to follow up the enterprise development, it has been widely observed that the small and microenterprises (SMEs) do not always work independently, but operate in groups and form a symbiotic mesoscopic structure in the network environment. In this study, we propose a coupled system subjected to the ratchet utility potential, to mimic the cooperative growth mechanism of the SMEs with strategic and nonstrategic partners under the tech-economic paradigm. By decoupling the system, we approximately obtain the average probability current to measure the mesoscopic performance in terms of growth ability and cooperation efficiency. Further, we systematically study the performance dependence on system parameters, and discuss the sensitivity to parameter changes. The results provide the latent support for regulating the growth behaviors, and further leads us to create useful decision rules in the SME management practices.
